MONDAY, JANUARY 29; 1810. - French and Dutch Papers have been received in town, the former to the 17th inst. and the latter to the latter appears a ProclamatiOn an, . . nexing.Walcheten i to the French Empire, and the inbabitahrS are impiously told that they ought to fed proud of being 'under the "A/n2ighty otec _tion" of 131024 A vAit•ra, and of enjoying the fruits of creatiz, , e and 'vivifying genius." This .Pro clarnationalso tells them, that r . henceforth every connexion with the English would be a crime." The 'Proclamation is dated the 27th of DcTember, at which time many of .our Competitors were amusing their Teaders with accounts of pacific negotiations between this Country and France, which our Reathrs will re- In - ember that - we, contradiaed, from authority. It is needless to observe; that if BuONAi.AaTe-had made pacific overtures to this Country, he .would hardly have ordeied sucha passage tote inserted in this Pro clarnation . It appears that this - annexation of \Val cheren to France has excited great discontents- and trm in Holland, as it seems to be preparatory re, the malexatibit . of the WhOle 'CUuntry to the 'reach Empire ; an apprehension Which is increaied • bj . the answer.o LOuts_Buoti APARTE to a Deputa tion, in which he expresses his fear that his imme;- 'Nate return to the .Country he so much loved is not consistent with the great political desigtls of his Im perial Brother. In the mean time, French troops ,are pouring into Holland, for the purpose, no doubt, Of promoting and - . tealizing those great political de- Signs . to which Loma IfuoNAFARTE alludes.... The French army in Holland, it is supposed, will be placed under the.command of BESSIERBS. If any thing were wanting to shew the real ob jeds of the Opposition, the langulge of their, porters, since the div,iiion on Friday night,_ would prove-it to demonstration. They do not rejoice that tin Inquiry is to take place, but they rejoice because they think that' their party is likely to corile into otTice Their professed objea was to promete an Incptiry; their real' one was to obtain potter. An attempt, .hogever, has been (Dade to deceive ;the Pub!ie whin 3 - spea to the real nature of tile qutstion o;i inch the House divided on Friday or rather on Saturday morning. It has been ita4-,d, arid with no inconsiderable de-• gree t of boldness, that it was the objea of ,Minis teri, and those: who suPported„ th-ent on. that day, yo ; evade Inquiry, We say, it requires souse (1 , 2- tlee of boldness, to make sueh'an asTertion, because • ." it is in direct opposition to the motion that was made, and to every wort that passed in - the Debate ()it that day.

A delay d twenty-four hours cannot at the question at all, and the, previous qu , :stion was moved merely for the purpos;.. of put ting the douse in posiession of the documents, be- fore it came to anydecislon upon the mode of the hi= . quiry; or to what extent it, should be carried on. Was there any thing in this proposition calculated to prevent the Inquiry, or even to delay it ? Minis ters tkistied the House to Wait till Monday, (this day,) when the papers were to be presented 3 - but t he Gentlemen on the other side would not ,hear of a moment's delay ; they - carried their question, ai:d. put - or' . the COMmittee till Friday !

It is probable that this repprt took its rise from the circumstance' of Lord GRENVILLE, as Auditor of the Exchequer, having. written, to Mr.. PER..
